Maryland Zoo in Baltimore Wedding – Sarah and Trevor

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  3rd July 2014

When we first met with Sarah and Trevor, I remember them saying that they wanted to treat their guests to a true Baltimore experience! Having a Maryland Zoo in Baltimore Wedding was sure to give their family a friends an experience they would never forget! I mean, Tails the Penguin was at their wedding! How cool is that?!?

Sarah and Trevor are two of the most laid back people and their personalities just light up the room. They didn’t fuss over the details or worry about anything at all (at least they didn’t show it! ;) )! You could see how full their hearts were just by seeing their bright smiles all day! And that joy just carried over to every single person that surrounded them!

We loved being a part of the joy that surrounded Sarah and Trevor! It was such an honor to be there to capture their love on this very special day! Sarah and Trevor- thank you for this special Baltimore treat! ;) We are so happy for you as you begin this next chapter in your love story! ;)

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make Sarah and Trevor’s day so special!!

Patapsco Park Engagement Session – Andrea and Sean

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  1st July 2014

There is something AMAZING about a Sunday stroll through the paths of Patapsco Park!… especially with an AMAZING couple! Every single time we are in the park we say to ourselves, why do we not come here more often?!? ;) Patapsco Park is about 10 miles (if that) outside of the city of Baltimore and it makes you feel like you are in the middle of the back country!

Andrea and Sean suggested the location for their Patapsco Park engagement session because of their love of nature. And let me tell you, it was clear that this was their happy place! They made their session easy for us because they were so comfortable and clearly just LOVED being together especially in such a beautiful environment surrounding them.

It is a pretty special thing when we can walk away from an engagement session feeling refreshed and reenergized from our stroll through the park with some friends! ;) We loved every minute of it!

Baltimore Royal Sonesta Wedding – Camila and Peter

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  26th June 2014

It always makes our hearts sing when we walk away from a wedding and know without a doubt the day was exactly how the bride and groom dreamed it to be. From the very beginning, Camila and Peter described their vision of their wedding day as being very classic. They dreamed it to be very timeless and traditional. They were including traditions from Camila’s home country of Columbia along with Peter’s family’s traditions from here in the states.

Knowing Camila and Peter’s dream vision ahead of time had Ryan and I super excited to see their vision through the photos as well! We always strive to keep a very timeless approach to our photos, but Camila and Peter allowed us to challenge ourselves to take it even further! We could not be more excited to share their photos and know that in 50 years Camila and Peter will be sharing them with their grandchildren as if it were yesterday!

Camila and Peter, thank you for giving us the opportunity to capture your beautiful love story! We had a blast celebrating with you and watching your classic elegance shine through in every way! Congratulations and we wish you nothing but the very best now and for many years to come!

Huge thanks to everyone who played a roll in Camila and Peter’s special day!

Annapolis Engagement Session | Lauren and David

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  25th June 2014

We were lucky enough to spend our 7 year wedding anniversary with Lauren and David last week photographing their Annapolis Engagement Session. I say lucky enough because these two have absolutely beautiful hearts! We showed up at their door and they handed us an Anniversary bottle of wine! How incredibly sweet is that?!? But even above and beyond that, they shared their AMAZING love with us and we could not be more grateful!

We had so much fun with Lauren and David exploring Quiet Waters Park and the exact location where David proposed in the freezing cold this past winter! ;) And then we made our way to the romantic streets of downtown Annapolis! Seriously, Lauren and David brought the romance to the streets! How AMAZING did Lauren and David look?!? And the added touch of the flowers and champagne!?! SO AMAZING!

Lauren and David- thank you for planning such an AMAZING evening out! We had so much fun strolling through the park and the Annapolis city streets with you! We could not be more grateful for the love that you surrounded us with on our Anniversary! ;) Can’t wait to see you again soon!

 

Baltimore Inner Harbor Wedding at Tabrizi’s – Kim and Jay

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  20th June 2014

It is not often that we get to photograph a wedding right in our “backyard.” We are often traveling all over the place for weddings (which we absolutely love to do!). But this time, our car got a little break. In fact, when we parked for the reception, we parked in the exact spot we normally do near our home. We walked home from the reception. ;) That is pretty magical when I think about it! ;)

Kim and Jay had the most beautiful day to celebrate their Baltimore Inner Harbor Wedding at Tabrizi’s! The blue sky and puffy white clouds made the waterfront views that much more gorgeous! It reminded me of the weather we had on our wedding day that was 7 years ago on the same weekend! ;)

But the weather wasn’t the only thing that took me back to our wedding day as we were photographing. The emotions of excitement and pure happiness on Kim and Jay’s faces were so visible ALL DAY! Seriously, that happy glow never once left their faces… especially after they were officially married! What a happy day!

Kim and Jay, we absolutely loved capturing your wedding day! Thank you for the visible reminder of that pure joy and excitement! We are so happy for you two! We wish you many many many years of that pure joy and excitement! ;)

Huge Thanks to everyone who played a roll in helping to make Kim and Jay’s day so special!
